Fun fact: there's enough calories in a single gram of plutonium to sustain a person for 10,000,000 years.

as does the same amount of any other substance, including for example yoghurt.

That number is just the E in E=mc²

If we are actually talking dietary calories, the number you see on foodstuff packaging, plutonium has 0.
